How to Optimize Your Cloud Costs

Avoid Wasted Spend

On average, enterprises are wasting 35 percent of their cloud spend due to inefficient use of cloud. Saving money on your cloud bills requires you to optimize your cloud use. However, you need to go beyond one-time fixes by leveraging automation to continually monitor spend, quickly alert you of issues, and even take automated action.
